Flávio Bolsonaro's rejection rate exceeds Lula's despite polling gains
A Quaest poll shows Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's rejection rate at 54%, two points above President Lula's 52%. The figures were released two days before campaigning officially opens for Brazil's October 4 elections.
A newly published Quaest poll in Brazil shows that despite some recovery in voting intention, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's rejection rate among voters still exceeds that of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The poll puts Bolsonaro's rejection at 54%, compared with 52% for Lula.
The figures were released just two days before the official campaign period opens ahead of the October 4 elections. The high rejection numbers for both figures point to persistent negative sentiment across large segments of the electorate.
Analysts say the findings underscore how the Bolsonaro family's political legacy continues to polarize Brazilian politics. Pre-election polling will be watched closely throughout the campaign and could shape alliance strategies among rival parties.
